MRS CARLISLE ON WARRINGTON SOCIETY
The New York correspondent OF the
Philadelphia Press today publishes an
interview with Mrs. Olrlisle on Wash
ington society. She says there has
been little change in the social life
here during ten years. experience ex-
eept the increased numbers of people
from other cities spending months
here. Then the interviewer said:
"People who have never lived in
Washington general y think there is
less 10 its society lif9 than any ether
city in the country"
"And my opinion is that they are
about right" said Mrs. Carlisle.
But society is 50 large and social
duties 80 many, that there isn't time
for much elss. The recurring of calls
alone is a large tax upon ones time.
Last year, for instance, l made 1000
visits"
"Isn't it very welring?"
"No; all that is necessary Is to re-
member the reception days Of different
ladies, look in and say, How do you
dor and 'goodby.' TEat is all that is
exn'ct"d."

CLEVELAND AND NEW YORK,
was talking yesterday with a Tam
many man who has just come from
New York. l asked him if it wastrus
that there seemed to be a strong anti.
Cleveland sentiment in New York, as
has been reported. "There Is this
sort Of a feeling" he said. "The Dem.
ocrats over there feel that up TO the
present time Cleveland has not given
satisfaction either in his appointments
or otherwise, but they real'Es that this
is Just the middle Of his term, and
that he may yet redeem himself. At
least, they are willing to give him a
show yet. They cay that it is too
early yet, anyway, to begin the c.m-
paign, and they are willing to wait and
see what the next year may bring
forth in his administration. He has a
chance now to do some good work il
he | rs che ability and nerve to accom-
pfish it. This retaliation law, for in
stance, is a very important matter, and
gives him a chance to show the stuff
heis made of. The important ap.
pointments he has now to make are
being watched with a good deal of in.
terest. There is a disposition to treat
Mr.. Cleveland fairly aud give him all
opportunity to arm a denomination,
The Democrats over there feel that il
he makes q record that will at all war
rant a denomination he ought to be
given another tenn. But l am frank
to tell you that If he does not improve
on what he has done, he will not gel
the support of his own State. Gov,
Hill is verystrong with his party there,
and will get the State if Cleveland
doesn't look sharp"
n TARIFF FIGHT IN TIE soUTH
A good deal of interest is felt in the
tariff fight that is bound to come NJ
again in the next Congress. 1t will
be the next time even q more tire
pressible conflict than 1t was in the
last Congress. l was talking with
prominent Southern Democrat 3 day
or two ago-one who has been a lead

found him exceedingly blue about the
thrift ouestion and its effect on the
